Food allowance will be given to the volunteers monthly. The volunteers will cook by themselves. Narva is not a big city, therefore the volunteers will walk to the placement.

Volunteer profile

We expect volunteers who love children & young people and have interest to work with them - this is one of the most important criteria, because all volunteers will work and meet with children in one or another way. Moreover, we are looking for friendly, open for communication and exchange of experience, hard-working young people with sense of initiative or wish to develop it. Interest in education and training, non-formal learning, project-based work and creativity will support the volunteer during the project. Knowledge of Russian language will be a benefit.
